Explanation of Solution

Bonds: Bonds are long-term promissory notes that are issued by a company while borrowing money from investors to raise fund for financing the operations.

Stock: It refers to a security issued in a form of certificate and implies the right of ownership of an investor over a portion of company’s earnings and assets.

Some advantages of issuing bonds instead of stock are as follows:

  • Issue of bonds is less expensive than issue of shares.
  • The interests on bonds are tax deductible. However, dividends from shares are not tax deductible.

  • Stockholders’ control is not affected in the bonds.
  • Earnings per share of bonds are high compare to common stock.
